The Police Command in Plateau State says it has arrested two suspected Sara-Suka cult members and recovered dangerous weapons as well as suspected illicit substances in separate operations in Jos.
In a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Alfred Alabo, the arrests were made by operatives of the Anti-Cyber Crime and Narcotics Unit and officers attached to the Angwan Rogo Division.
According to the statement, one Adam Abdullahi, aged 18 and a resident of Yen Siminti in Rikkos, was arrested at Gengere. Police say he was found in possession of a double-edged knife, suspected cult-related attires and substances believed to be crystal methamphetamine, popularly known as “ice.”
In a related development, officers of the Angwan Rogo Division arrested 20-year-old Khalifa Yusuf of Angwan Rimi, Jos, at the 011 Prayer Ground opposite the University of Jos permanent site.
Items recovered from the suspect include a knife and dry leaves suspected to be cannabis.

The Command reaffirmed its commitment to tackling crime and drug-related offences across Plateau State and called on residents to continue providing useful information to security agencies.
